TURF INSTALLATION – FINAL STEPS
!
• After all the turf is installed and secured to the base, we recommend adding a layer of
sand onto the turf fibers. Coated sand, silica sand or zeolite can be used to infill the
turf. Use a drop seed spreader, or your hands, to evenly disperse sand. Be sure to
broom the sand into the turf so it migrates to the primary backing. We recommend
about 1-2 lbs. of sand per sq. ft., depending on the application and the product. The
sand acts as ballast and helps protect from UV rays.
Note: For projects larger than 150 sq. ft. it is highly recommended to use a drop seed
spreader to add your sand.
• With each layer of sand, the turf needs to be vigorously brushed using a power broom,
Grandi Groomer or coarse bristle nylon broom. The sand will help support the fibers to
stand upright. The turf should be brushed across the fibers.
• The turf seams should be cross-brushed in both directions. This will make the seams
less visible.
Note: Be sure your levels of sand are consistent throughout.
